After 24 hours of flying we finally arrived. We were welcomed by the extreme heat of Manila and the large cockroaches and geckos in our apartment. Our apartment is just a few minutes from Manila Bay. Along the boardwalk there are lots of huts set up as restaurants and they have bands playing in the evenings. We sat and watched the sunset and the locals.
We also went to Rizal Park. Jose Rizal was a doctor in the Philippines that helped rally the people during the time of spanish control. He was executed by the spanish for his radical thoughts in this very park. This park is gorgeous and huge. There are different chinese and japanese gardens throughout.
